Answer / sridhar
An acquisition, also known as a takeover, is the buying of
one company (the ‘target’) by another. An acquisition may
be friendly or hostile. In the former case, the companies
cooperate in negotiations; in the latter case, the takeover
target is unwilling to be bought or the target's board has
no prior knowledge of the offer. Acquisition usually refers
to a purchase of a smaller firm by a larger one. Sometimes,
however, a smaller firm will acquire management control of
a larger or longer established company and keep its name
for the combined entity. This is known as a reverse
takeover.

Definition of 'Acquisition'
A corporate action in which a company buys most, if not all,
of the target company's ownership stakes in order to assume
control of the target firm. Acquisitions are often made as
part of a company's growth strategy whereby it is more

combination of both.
